Check in was okay - efficient but not so friendly. The room was very dated, from the old carpet to the tired looking bathroom. Bed was extremely soft, which unfortunately didn’t suit us well. The lifts are ancient and doesn’t require a scan of the room key, so anyone can enter.
The positives - great location, walking distance to most points of interests. 10 to 15 minute walk to Te Papa, Cuba Street. Buffet breakfast was pretty good and had enough options one wouldn’t complain.
